Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet are playing doubles.
The couple rolled up to the “Marty Supreme” premiere in Los Angeles Monday night in matching orange leather Chrome Hearts outfits — a coordinated look worthy of Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake’s double denim at the 2001 American Music Awards.
But this time, the distinctive color palette wasn’t just an aesthetic choice.
Orange has been the central color of the “Marty Supreme” rollout, referencing a plot point in the film where Chalamet’s character, pro table-tennis player Marty Mauser, swaps his white ping-pong balls with orange ones for greater visibility. The actor, 29, has fully committed to the bit, wearing the color for most screenings and press stops.
He went all in on method dressing for the West Coast premiere: an orange leather single-breasted blazer and baggy trousers with silver cross buttons, layered over an orange satin button-down, all custom Chrome Hearts.
He finished the look with Timberland x Chrome Hearts boots and a black leather ping-pong paddle bag slung across his body, another homage to Marty Mauser.
Jenner, 28, matched her boyfriend all the way to her acrylic coffin-shaped nails, wearing an orange leather floor-length gown with a plunging neckline and triangular cutouts at the waist. She added a necklace strung with several of the brand’s signature cross emblems.
Chrome Hearts is a longtime Kardashian-Jenner go-to; Kim wore a custom crocodile leather look from the LA-based label to the 2025 Met Gala, and Kylie owns a custom stroller from the notoriously pricey brand (even a baby rattle retails for $2,280).
A24 has rallied hard behind all things orange in their marketing efforts, flying an orange blimp above Los Angeles with the words “Marty Supreme” and “Dream Big” emblazoned on the sides, and filling an orange box truck with ping-pong balls for a New York City pop-up.
At that event, the actor hawked a collaboration between the film and the fashion brand Nahmias, modeled on mannequins with giant orange ping-pong ball heads. The limited-edition windbreakers retailed for $250, but are now selling for thousands on the resale market.
The strategy is an intentional callback to the Barbie pink that dominated pop culture ahead of that movie’s 2023 premiere — a fact made clear in a staged video of a fake marketing meeting that A24 posted last month.
In it, Chalamet calls out the Greta Gerwig-directed comedy by name: “When you think of ‘Barbie,’ what do you think?” he asks the execs on the Zoom call. “I think pink. Everywhere I stepped, I would be inundated with pink. What would the same be for ‘Marty Supreme?’”
He, of course, lands on orange.
He suggests an array of outrageous ideas, including painting the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower orange. He sketches a crude blimp drawing that he claims his “visual artist” spent “six months” creating.
While the former propositions may not have made it out of the concepting stage, the blimp certainly did — as, it seems, did the dress code.
